A "Spankie" is a new member to a group of friends that have been around for a long time (Much like a fire-fighter's Probie) This new "Spankie" must perform mundane tasks that the others do not wish to do.
A "Spankie" cannot be named by their true name until they have done an awesome act of total awesome that will initiate the vote of the group to not call Him/Her Spanky, that or they must stay around long enough to hold seniority over a new "Spankie"
